After getting its own food court (Time Warner
Center), farmstead (BLT Market) and rich-guy feeding trough (Grayz),
the Central Park South area continues its recent luxe food boom with
South Gate, a market-driven modern American restaurant at the tony
Essex House. “There’s a new energy in this area,” says chef Kerry Heffernan, alluding to CPS’ resurgent culinary cache. “’Downtown uptown’
is the right way of putting it.” Heffernan, who earned his stripes at
Eleven Madison Park, presents a judiciously edited menu with appetizers
like buttercup flan with Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and prosciutto,
plus entrees that go from hearty (pork belly with Chinese leeks and
kohlrabi purée) to savory (sautéed red snapper with celery fondue).
Natch, the sleek digs match the upscale tenor, with sandy tones and a
strong geometric verve (mirrored tiles, angular patterns) making way
for a view of the park.
